But it was worth it. I’m a swimmer and I can do the backstroke. That was important to me. I go about my day doing the things I could do before the replacement. The surgery and Dr. Cook we’re God sent for me.
That’s great! I had a reverse replacement also two years ago, and it went pretty well, I could pull my bow back. But he said I couldn’t lift more than 20 pounds overhead. Glad to hear.
